Abstract:
Median mononeuropathy is common, with carpal tunnel syndrome the most frequently encountered acquired mononeuropathy in clinical practice. However, other disorders of the median nerve and many known anatomical variants can lead to misdiagnosis and unexpected surgical complications if their presence is not correctly identified. A number of inherited and acquired disorders can affect the median nerve proximal to the wrist, alone or accompanied by other affected peripheral nerves. Recognizing other disorders that can masquerade as median mononeuropathies can avoid misdiagnosis and misguided management. This chapter explores median nerve anatomical variants, disorders, and lesions, emphasizing the need for careful examination and electrodiagnostic study in the localization of median neuropathy.

Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...
